Is it better to recite the Qur'an or to read the tafsir (exegesis) in Ramadan?

The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.

The presenter : How are you?

The Shaykh : I am well, praise be to Allah.

The presenter : Honorable Shaykh Muhammad, how are you, Shaykh?

The Shaykh : I am well, and all praise is due to Allah.

The questioner : May Allah bless you. Regarding the month of Ramadan. Hello, yes, and reciting the Qur'an. At certain times, it is better for one to recite the Qur'an even if he does not understand its meaning, rather than reading the tafsir.

The Shaykh : No, the default is to recite the Qur'an, and the tafsir has another time. Another time other than the month of Ramadan. Yes, and here it is better that he recite the Qur'an.

The presenter : He recites the Qur'an. Yes, may Allah reward you with good. May Allah bless you.
